Join us for a special lecture on Civil War Currency presented by Jeff Dahlgren in the Banning Museum’s Stagecoach Barn on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 10:00 am.

Mr. Dahlgren has been involved with the “Civil War Trust” for 15 years and is also on the Board of Trustees. He has an ancestor who was a Union Admiral during the Civil War and personal friend of Abraham Lincoln.

The lecture will cover the different types of currencies and notes that were used during the Civil War. The design, artwork of the notes, conditions stated in writing on the notes and the value and redeeming the notes will also be discussed. At the end of the lecture guests will be able to view different types of confederate currencies, as well as Civil War items from Admiral Dahlgren.
